Harvey Elliott reveals the major difference between Arne Slot and Jurgen Klopp

Harvey Elliott has revealed Liverpool will be more of a possession-based team under new manager Arne Slot rather than the pressing outfit Jurgen Klopp presided over.

Former Feyenoord boss Slot took over from the departing Klopp earlier this summer and has enjoyed a positive pre-season campaign so far, most recently beating Premier League rivals Arsenal in the United States.

There has been a marked stylistic change from the Reds during their summer friendlies but Elliott - who provided two assists against the Gunners - says the transition will take some time despite the positive early signs.

He told The Times: "It's kind of more in possession now. Managers have different styles of play and the gaffer now has a style which is about possession and keeping the ball, one-touch and two-touch passes, but I'm not going to give away any details.

"We're learning different roles and I think it's key for us to get the understanding now with one another and where we need to be in certain positions throughout games and certain situations; it is going to come but it is not something that will happen overnight.

"We need to keep training, keep working at it, keep practising and we have full belief in the gaffer, in what he is saying, what he wants us to do, and it's on all us players now to go and do that on the pitch."

The 21-year-old made 53 appearances for Liverpool in all competitions last season, beating his tally of 46 from 2022/23, though only 11 starts arrived in the Premier League.

"It's a fresh start for everyone," he added. "There are no nerves, just excitement. We all just want to get out there and play and try out this new style.

"I have been around it [the first team] for five years and I feel like this is my time to really kick on and really achieve what I want to achieve. From the club's perspective as well, trophy-wise, you know we're back in the Champions League now and it is all exciting. So we just need to trust the manager, trust the set-up and the tactics and when we're out on the pitch, just make sure we apply it."
